thingiverse

A little robot for the youngest people at home who want to start experimenting with robotics! Features include: Controlled by Arduino Nano All electronics and batteries stay inside the robot Movements are achieved through tank chains Continuous rotation servos make it possible Ultrasonic sensor helps detect obstacles Infrared sensor detects objects in its path Buzzer alerts users when something's amiss One switch to turn the robot on or off One button controls the robot's movements Powered by 4 x AA batteries and a boost converter Bill of Materials: 2 9g micro servos, specifically TGY-9018MG metal gear servos are used 1 HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor detects distance accurately 1 CEM-1203 Buzzer alerts users with a clear sound 1 Switch from an RC Hobby car RX is used for easy control 1 1838B Infrared sensor helps navigate through spaces 1 DSN6009 voltage step-up boosts power efficiently M3 10mm screws and bolts keep everything in place Arduino Nano controls the robot's movements and actions Wires connect all components seamlessly A printer, some filament, and patience are needed to bring it to life Watch a video on the Ugobot#1 YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/rZlT0m7YXxw Get the Robot Schematics in FreeCad & Arduino Sample program from GitHub: https://github.com/ugogarcia/ugobot-1.andromeda Print Settings: Printer Brand: RepRap Printer Model: Prusa I3 Steel Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 30% Notes: The robot's head prints better with an infill of 50%. Rafts and supports are not needed for any part. Post-Printing: Mount the tracks first. Sand each link to ensure smooth movement. Use a round file to make the link holes rounded. Connect links together using 3mm printer filament. Apply grease where gears touch links for smooth movement. Hack servos for continuous rotation. Choose the method that uses resistors for best results. Use metal gear servos for better torque and durability. Build the robot, attach electronics, and program Arduino! Finish assembling the robot parts as seen in the photos. Weld all wires to sensors and Arduino securely. Close the robot head and enjoy!
